You might have heard about the famous Mehrangarh Fort of Jodhpur. If you have not, all you have to do is to read this article about more than 25 places to visit in Jodhpur.

Other than forts, Jodhpur food is famous. Ker-Sangari Sabji is one of those famous vegetable dishes.

In this article, I will talk about the places to eat in Jodhpur when you are on a budget. This is a topic that will help travelers. I will give exact details so that you will know what might cost at a specific food store.

Some of these are street food stalls while others are considered restaurants on their own. Some of these stalls open as early as 7am and as late as 11pm. They offer cheap and tasty food, hence totally recommended for travelers who are on a budget. What I am listing is all veg food, apologies to non-veggies. 😉

My list of Places to Eat in Jodhpur on a Budget:

1. Ramdev Dosa Corner

It is a group of small stalls serving Dosa, chow mein, sandwich, Pav Bhaji, pizza, burger, Idli and Sambhar Vada.

Near to Ramdev Dosa Corner are two stalls of sugarcane juice (Ganne ka Juice), one shop of ice cream and cold drinks and Mahalaxmi Sweet Corner.

All the food items at Ramdev Dosa Corner cost between Rs 20 and Rs 40. It is so cheap that you won’t want to ask for discounts. 😉

Sugarcane juice costs Rs 10 and Rs 20 for small and large glasses.

Ice cream price starts from Rs 10. It depends on the type of ice cream you choose. Cold drink rates are MRP rates.

Talking about sweets, Mahalaxmi Sweet Corner has various types of sweets and Namkeen (salty snacks). Namkeen cost between Rs 15 and Rs 20. A variety of sweets is offered at different prices.

Overall, if you have Rs 200 in your pocket, you can feed your appetite with everything you want.

2. Rakesh Dosa Corner

This is also a group of small stalls. Being on C-Road of Sardarpura, there are always ten to twenty people enjoying their food here.

Rakesh Dosa Corner serves Dosa, Sambhar Idli , and Sambhar Vada. Sambhar Vada of Rakesh Dosa Corner was what I was talking about at the start of this post. The food items here cost between Rs 20 and Rs 30. By the way, Sambhar Vada costs Rs 20 only.

There is Baba Ramdev Soda stall in this group. He serves soda of different flavors. The price ranges Rs 15-20 per glass, depending on the flavor.

The second one is ‘Ajmer ki Kadhi Kachori’. It costs Rs 20 for a normal Kadhi Kachori and Rs 30 if you mix Palak Vada with it. The second option is tastier. 🙂

In front of Rakesh Dosa Corner (on the other side of the road), there is a coconut juice stall that serves juice of fresh green coconuts. Coconut juice is refreshing in the hot weather of Rajasthan. It costs Rs 30 for one coconut.

So, if you have Rs 150, you are good to go. Most of the time you won’t be able to eat more than four items here.

It is very cheap considering the expensive hotels where a single dish costs minimum Rs 150.

3. Shastri Circle

No, it is not the name of the shop. It is a circle with a park. Located at the center of Shastri Nagar, the park attracts people. So here you will find a variety of food stalls.

You can also visit the park. The entry fee is Rs 5 per person. Entry is free on every Tuesday.

Depending on your choice of food, it may cost Rs 300 per person here. Since you’ll have a lot of choices, you won’t be able to taste everything at once. I know because I have tried, but after 4-5 items, I always get full and couldn’t eat further.

4. Chandra Shahi Samosa

It is a good shop, which I found recently. It is right in front of JNVU Old Campus. It is more of a Namkeen and sweet shop.

But what I liked here were Dahi Vada, Kadhi Kachori, and Dahi Palak. It also has a sugarcane juice stall along.

Kadhi Kachori costs Rs 20. Dahi Palak and Dahi Vada cost Rs 25 each.

Namkeen cost Rs 15-20, and Rs 1 for each bread you take (optional). Sugarcane juice costs Rs 10 per glass.

1 Namkeen + 2 Breads = Awesome Food 😉

5. Bhawani Dal Bati

Dal Bati is the signature food of Rajasthan. It is so much popular that there are many shops in Jodhpur that serves only Dal Bati.

Bhawani Dal Bati is one of those Dal Bati specialists. They serve tasty Dal Bati and the price is cheap.

The interesting thing about this place is that it looks like basic Dhaba but the Dal Bati tastes awesome.

Ghee is on a payable basis. So if you like more you can have more of it. Choorma is also optional. For one person it will cost Rs 100. Since it is a basic Dhaba, you may find it too hot inside during the day.

Wow…’Indian’ food in India. I go to Indian Restaurants here in the US but India is so vast and complex and has so many cultures that our Indian restaurants could not show us everything. I’d love to eat in the street stalls.

Hahaa… you are absolutely right. It is difficult to get all the varieties of Indian cuisine in one restaurant. Come to India and you’ll love the street food here if you are accustomed to eat spicy food.

As a regular at Jodhpur I have the foll favorites:
1.The mirchi bada at the sweet meat shops near clock tower
2. The pyaz ki kachori at Janta Sweets
3. The luxury thali at Gypsy restaurant which includes the lip smacking Gatte Ki Sabzi:)
